Trucking
The trucking industry is the lifeline of the U.S. economy.
Why
Nearly 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. goes on trucks
Without the industry and our truck drivers, the economy would come to a standstill
- Move 9.2 billion tons of freight annually
- Requires nearly 3 million heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and
- Over 3 million truck drivers
- Takes over 37 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight
And
Simply – without trucks, America stops
